in [Windows XP]

From: Daave on 7 Jul 2010 17:57 Good you posted. :-) You need to first run sp37394.exe: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericSoftwareDownloadIndex?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&softwareitem=pv-60484-2 Yes, clean your disk (that is, delete your temp files). Then scan for viruses and other malware. Downgrading to IE6 is not absolutely necessary but it might be worth the while. After rebooting twice and using the PC for a few days, you may once more delete your temp files. *Then* you may defrag if you wish. It's not a bad idea to create an image of your hard drive before installing SP3. That's what I would do. Cynanthis wrote: > I have a pavilion HP dv8000 laptop (AMD Turion64)- > PLease advice.

From: Cynanthis on 7 Jul 2010 20:28 Hi Daave, I downladed the sp37394 and was following the steps. But it couldnot proceed because it said, "your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update. Update has been canelled (9998)" So I can not upgrade this important utility.... Anything else I can do?

From: Daave on 7 Jul 2010 21:21 Have a look here: http://msinfluentials.com/blogs/jesper/archive/2008/05/08/does-your-amd-based-computer-boot-after-installing-xp-sp3.aspx When you did this, were you logged on with a computer administrator account? (That would be necessary.) It's possible that although you have an HP PC and you also have an AMD processor, you do not have a factory-installed HP-OEM image on your hard drive. It is only if *all three* situations co-exist that there would be an issue installing SP3. You could run Jesper's tool. It would confirm if you have an AMD processor or not. And it would indicate whether or not the IntelPPM driver is set to load. If all three situations co-exist, you need to disable that driver. Also, look here (to do this manually): http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c01457284 Since you have XP Home, can you boot into Safe Mode and log on as Administrator?

From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 8 Jul 2010 00:52 Daave's having you cross a bridge you might not even come to. ==================================== Continual reboots or can only boot into Safe Mode after installing WinXP SP3? See http://msinfluentials.com/blogs/jesper/archive/2008/05/08/does-your-amd-based-computer-boot-after-installing-xp-sp3.aspx [NB: The above has been updated many times and now includes "a small tool that will detect the IntelPPM problem and mitigate it before installing (WinXP SP3)."] Possible workaround: Boot into Safe Mode and rename INTELPMM.SYS to INTELPMM.OLD.
